We study the ergodic control problem for a class of controlled jump diffusions driven by a compound Poisson process. This extends the results of [SIAM J. Control Optim. 57 (2019), no. 2, 1516-1540] to running costs that are not…

We present a theorem for verification of optimality of controlled diffusions under the average cost criterion with near-monotone running cost, without invoking any blanket stability assumptions. The implications of this result to the policy…
